<p>^Sure, but don’t expect a higher score.</p>
<p>^If he messed up all the MC they aren’t gonna fix it for him, they’re just going to rescore what he filled in by hand, so chances are it won’t get any higher because it’s his fault not CB.</p>
<p>^true, but that still sucks. if that really did happen to you i’m sorry…what a waste. (of money and time…)</p>
<p>Does anyone know how long it takes to get an exam rescored? If I faxed the request in tomorrow how long would it really take? Also how long does it take to get free response booklets?</p>
<p>Its takes 6-8 to restore multiple choice, and whats the point of asking for your booklet</p>
<p>If you feel that your score is too low, you take you FRQ booklet to a good teacher that knows how the grading works and have him/her grade it. If you know your FRQ score and have an idea of how you did on MC, you can make a better-informed decision on whether or not to rescore.</p>
<p>Paying to get the booklet won’t help with anything, and there isn’t much you can prove with it</p>
<p>And the $25 you pay for only covers Multiple Choice</p>
<p>Has anyone else noticed that nobody has a negative story with their rescore? I’m beginning to wonder if CollegeBoard just auto-assumes they F’d up for the kids that send in 25 bucks and, if after the MC they bump them up a little bit, they figure they screwed up the whole thing and bump them up a grade?</p>
<p>Lol. Conspiracy theories. But seriously, who would call in with a 4 for a 5?</p>
<p>Hey, its possible, but if you think the FRQs were incorrectly messed up, you have no way to prove it</p>
<p>And its not the SAT, where they will refund you if there is a mistake</p>
<p>I don’t think Collegeboard releases the break down of your scores, so you never truly know what you missed, paying them $25 is just a gamble</p>
<p>I’m getting the free response booklet cause I think they really messed up my score and maybe they like lost my free response booklet or forgot to add the free response score in. Does anyone know how long it takes them to send you the free response booklet?</p>
<p>^^ From my experience last year in getting my AP European History FRQ booklet via mail, its very fast - usually in about 1-2 weeks, assuming the College Board people don’t have a load of orders on their hands.</p>
<p>^Thanks! I’m definitely going to get my FRQ booklet and my test rescored, I mean I don’t really have anything to lose :)</p>
<p>Okay my question for people on the thread is this. My son got 4’s and 5’s on practice tests in his AP Calculus class, but only a 2 on the exam. He felt confident, etc., and another kid in his class who got the same scores as him on tests all year got a 5. My son has horrible handwriting, practically illegible. My theory is that may have interfered with scoring. But it sounds like only multiple choice is rescored? So rescoring wouldn’t help anyway if it were about bad handwriting, right? Is there even a free writing book for calculus?</p>
<p>^I would suggest just to get the exam rescored. For an exam as important as Calculus, it is definitely worth it whether it was on the multiple choice or the frq’s that an error was made.</p>
<p>You might want to order his FR booklet and see if it was, in fact, illegible. It might give some insight. You should rescore too. I’m rescoring mine as I found myself in a similar situation to your son: high scores on practice exams and a good feeling after the test only to get (shocked) by a 1.</p>
<p>I’m wondering if anyone had an unsuccessful rescore stories? Because I am indecisive about whether or not I should rescore my exams…</p>

<p>People aren’t ever going to go down with rescoring. They’ll either stay the same or move up. This is because most people with MC mistakes either made a frameshift error (skipped a bubble by mistake or forgot to omit one), or the scanner screwed up reading their test. If your multiple choice is fine, it’ll be rescored the same; I don’t think they’ll ever make a mistake on the rescoring.</p>
<p>Hey guys, I have a question about the whole rescoring process.
Would I write a letter (not type) and send to P.O. Box 6671 Princeton, NJ 08541-6671 and include:</p>
<p>Name
Address
Gender
Phone Number
Date of Birth
AP Number
AP Exam Title
$25 Check payable to CollegeBoard</p>
<p>Is there anything else I should include?</p>
<p>Would it be a good idea to use something like certified mail for this?</p>
<p>There was a kid in my AP French class who planned on (and is now) majoring in Math, and he had gotten a 1 on the Calc AB test, but after rescoring, it turned out to be a 5. Way to potentially kill a future mathematician’s dreams, College Board. Lol.</p>
